So many of the places we choose for “eating out” experiences have wonderful settings in historic buildings. A few have been places to gather for food and drink since the 1700s. Others are former farmhouses. Gilded age mansions have been repurposed to be grand dining establishments fit for weddings and other celebratory occasions. Westchester can also claim a number of restaurants which have had wild success in clever adaptive reuse of older, sometimes unusual, structures. Our restaurants often reflect the history of our county, of America.
Barbara Davis, Executive Director of the Westchester County Historical Society, is the guide in this culinary tour that covers more than three dozen restaurants throughout Westchester, including the 1740’s Horse and Hound Inn in South Salem, The Fish and the Farmer in Purdy’s, Jean Georges Inn at Pound Ridge, and many others.
This program is brought to you by the Westchester County Historical Society in collaboration with Warner Library, Croton Free Library, John C. Hart Memorial Library and Putnam Valley Library.
